Welcome to Six Feet Over!
Six Feet Over is a non-profit organization that prevents suicide and helps individuals heal in the wake of suicide loss in Michigan.
By educating individuals and cultivating awareness about mental illness and suicide, as well as assisting individuals with the resources they need, at the time they need them most, Six Feet Over is enabling Michigan communities to prevent, intervene, and heal from suicide, improving our public health for current and future generations.
